Location: Brooklyn VIC Australia

As of my knowledge cutoff date in October 2021, Brooklyn, a suburb of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia, does not have a significant marine port comparable to those found in larger coastal cities. Instead, Melbourne's primary port facilities are principally located at the Port of Melbourne, which is the largest port in Australia.

The Port of Melbourne is situated on the shores of Port Phillip Bay and services the broader metropolitan area, including suburbs like Brooklyn. Here’s a general overview and some specifications for the Port of Melbourne:

Given that the description provided relates to the broader Port of Melbourne infrastructure, any marine-related activities in Brooklyn will typically utilize these larger port facilities rather than having distinct, standalone marine port specifications.

If you’re specifically referring to a new development or port facility in Brooklyn itself (Victoria, Australia), details would need to be checked against more recent sources or specific project documentation as this may not have been part of available data as of 2021.
